Re routed, still need to add labels, etc. Gerber looked OK (I think), but need to verify with board house how they want the slots indicated. They are on layer 46, which is milling in Eagle. Pins are 2.5 x 0.4mm, so made the slots 2.6 x 0.5 mm.

I might be able to make it work. I decreased the pad size a bit on the 2500. Slots are defined in milling layer 46. I will need to switch the sections of the 4CP601 to the 4CP2500 since the 2500 overlaps or touches sections 2 and 3 of the 601. I haven't generated a gerber yet and taken a look at it to see if the slots are showing up or not. EDIT: board is about 46x47 mm currently.

Yes, but I've always liked these pots, particularly compared to the RK27. Not sure this is going to work. Due to the slots, the pads have to be oblong. I initially can't get clearance on the middle two rows of pads vs. the 601. The center pin on the 2500 on these rows overlaps the outer pins on the 601. I'll keep playing with it, but I don't see any alternatives if you want the pots to be coincidental (close).

Happy Birthday!

I could use pads with 2.5mm holes in them, but a lot of solder fill and not great mechanical integrity. Looks like getting Eagle to do pads with slots could be somewhat "fun". Might look at diptrace, though I've never done a full board with it, nor created new parts.

Good point Marc.

From experience, you really want to limit soldering on these. The pins are 2.5mm x 0.4mm. I should be able to create a pad with a slot to fit those. Caveat: I've never tried doing that Here is the board so far with just the 4CP-601 on it, no labeling or anything. Inputs on R, Outputs on L:

Keeping it the same would mean supporting both pots, wouldn't it? Oh wait, I hadn't seen the mention of the CP2500 series. Those might be a problem as far as the pins go, as I thought they were solder lug (at least the ones I have are), and not really designed for PCB mount? I'll dig up the datasheet.

That one has both the RK27 and 4CP on it. Did you want one with only the 4CP pot on it? From the one above, the Phoenix connectors will dominate size-wize. Also, if minimum board size is desired, did you want it done like Birgir's so the pot sits up off the board, partially on the Phoeinx connectors? I would guess the Molex KK connectors will fit just fine regardless.

I could do it. That way I would get my 0.100" Molex connector footprints as well

I'd be interested in 1 in 10K, maybe more.

I took my Raleigh RRA (irreplaceable) back to Iowa a couple of years ago on my Bones 2 at 80+ mph (300 miles each way). No problems, other than you have to tighten up the straps after a few miles. Sure a hitch rack is probably better, if you get the hitch mount installed properly, etc.

Happy belated as well Antonio! If I had any gin here, I'd do a G&T in your honor! Hope you had a great one!

Interesting discussion, and you (mypasswordis, sorry can't remember your real name) can articulate much more than I can regarding consonance/dissonance. I heard the U of I Percussion Ensemble perform a Xenakis piece years ago for a PAS Iowa convention thing when I was in school. The hall must have matched Xenakis' design because I could have sworn I was hearing synthesizers (as in ELP), as in a "wow-wow" moving around the hall. All from acoustic drums placed in the balcony at strategic intervals around the hall. Stockhausen: hehe, pretty much the wildest shit I've ever heard. In music theory classes, where I heard the Stockhausen and other 12 tone pioneers, we did an analysis of Wagner, Parsifal (my screen name), Overture. From what I recall, 300 bars or so where you could kind of glimpse key(s), but couldn't nail it down. A lot of step-wise movement in the piece, moving from key to key, starts here, comes out there, but in between? Very "tonal" sounding piece of music as well. Question: how much do alternate tonalities fuck with people who have perfect pitch (i.e., my mother among them)? I'm sure this is tied somewhat to the tonality system that they are accustomed to. Add to that Baroque tunings, etc.

Very cool Kerry! Subscribed! Very nice board layout as well. What did you use for that?

Happy Birthday you viking fuck!

Happy Birthday Marshall!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy Birthday! I hope it is a great one!

Happy Birthday Justin!

Happy Birthday!

FTFY Happy Birthday Kerry!

I hope you meant mV on the offset measurements...

Happy Birthday!

Good advice Nate. I hadn't thought about that, but maybe in recasing it you inadvertently made contact with one of the standoffs or something. Measuring all the inputs to ground should find if that is true or not. Might also ohm them to chassis.
